The evergreen Bonobo (aka Simon Green) anticipates a summer full of DJ sets with 'Linked', a club ready slow burner that is as atmospheric as any of his previous work. It follows 2017's Migration and 2019's fabric Presents compilation. Green is also responsible for the incredible photograph on the sleeve. It's a beautiful world isn't it?

Phenomenally successful electronics guy Bonobo has compiled a mix for you. What a nice man. He's put a few of his own tracks on there including an unreleased one but then he's put some fellow travellers on there such as Joey Beltran, DJ Seinfeld, Throwing Snow and loads and loads of people I haven't heard of.

Up there with the likes of Fourtet, Jon Hopkins and Tycho, Bonobo is a world-renowned electronic producer/DJ who creates a spectacular sonic landscape with an authentic blend of trip-hop, ambient, IDM and his own unique twist. Long-awaited by fans, Migration is the Brighton-born producer's sixth studio release. If 2016 single Kerala is anything to go by, then the album is everything you'd expect... formidably intelligent, finely crafted and infinitely pretty. Released as Vinyl Double LP and CD on the Ninja Tunes label.

It's quite unbelievable how big Bonobo has come. As if to prove it this is a live document of his recent 175 date, 30 country tour. Massive. It comes in three formats, a CD and DVD set in deluxe packaging with a 72 page hardback clothbound book containing live photographs, tour diary, anecdotes and a foreword by Gilles Peterson. The DVD contains 60 minutes of live footage taken at Pula Amphitheatre and The Roundhouse, interspersed with documentary footage and photo gallery, videos and a time lapse video. The live CD includes recordings from seminal Bonobo shows including Pula Amphitheatre, The Roundhouse and live radio sessions at Maida Vale (London), KEXP and KCRW (US).Also available as a standalone softpack CD and a double LP on 180g vinyl in 5mm spine sleeve with download code. Popular lad.

In 2015, downtempo producer Bonobo aka Simon Green set out to find where the North ends and where the South begins. 'Ten Tigers' explores claims that the Midlands are part of the North, 'Emkay' asserts that Wales has a 'Northern' outlook, whilst 'Transits' challenges the notion that Leicester is a Southern city. That's all rubbish of course, but we can tell you that you'll be greeted with atmospheric and mellow electronic music with nods to trip hop, jazz and garage.

Doyen and darling of downtempo, Bonono's 'Black Sands' is a calming journey through his own brand of nu-jazz, trip-hop, and electronica. It's full of dusty samples, well-placed acoustic instruments, and the odd guest vocal. Imagine climbing to the top of an English hill at 5am in June fuelled by nothing more than two pints of green tea; you're well on your way to recreating the experience of listening to Bonobo.

Whether or not he intentionally referenced Johnny Morris and Terry Nutkins long running BBC Children's Television show, Animal Magic is worth a place in the annals of cultural history by being the first album from beat-maker Simon Green (aka Bonobo). He has increasingly gained a large following and is one of downtempo electronic music's biggest draws but here is where everything started...re-issued by the good people at Tru Thoughts.

We're not your normal record shop...

Please note that whilst we're always happy to see you, we are not a normal record shop where you can come and browse the stacks.

There are no stacks.

Nope, instead we are basically a kind of brutalist Argos for vinyl records. So, instead of trudging all the way to sunny Holbeck in anticipation of being able to flick through shelf after shelf of releases, please place your orders online first and use our 'In-store collect' option in the checkout.
